Morning everyone, a new challenge at Allsorts where Lynn is looking for Flowers on our creations. Prizes come from Highlight Crafts, AALL and Create and Stampendous. There's a change to publication of July winners, due to me being out of action for a while (explanation in post below) it will now be (hopefully) early August.
I have two shares, above uses one of Abs new AALL and Create releases called This Much is True (1175), stamped, coloured and cut onto an oval aperture and placed inside an ornate die frame which I think is Carnation Crafts. Sentiment from Power of the Word.
Above a rather bright one with lots of Summer Flowers, first step was to stamp Twilight Lily and Shadow Bloom and cover the blooms with masking fluid, when dry I saturated the card (using 600gsm Fabriano which won't warp), sprinkled four colours of Brushos at the top and added more water to encourage the colour to run down the page. When dry Shadow Bloom was stamped again a couple more times in grey so it blended into the background. Rubbed off all the masking fluid and coloured the flowers with Ecoline pens and stamped Lumus Fairy (small) and some Bumble Bees from Bumblehums and coloured those and the Fairy winds with Posca sparkle and Wink of Stella pens.
And as we are talking Flowers, a few of the Sunflowers in the garden, some are not that tall this year which seems odd given all the rain we've had, the little Miss is our Poppy who likes to be involved in everything, in fact we're certain she believes she runs the whole household and definitely controls the three Labs.

Lovely floral cards for inspiration and thank you for sharing the sunflower photos and for including little Poppy admiring them
Two wonderful floral creations, Brenda. TFS the lovely photos of Poppy and your beautiful sunflowers.

Two beautiful cards Brenda - love the second, vibrant one in particular.
Your sunflowers looks fabulous, despite the lack of height'.
Isn't it funny how one animal can dominate a whole household, regardless of size :)
Blessings

Seeing your beautiful card I am rather envious of your new Lavinia stamps! Although the AALL stamp looks fab too... Great work in both makes. x
2 gorgeous cards Brenda. I love the new A&C image and it works perfectly with that fabulous ornate frame. The Lavinia card really pops with the Brushos .. I haven’t used mine for a while and I really should. Also I bought some masking fluid in a fit of enthusiasm but haven’t used it, mainly as I’m not sure how to rub it off without tearing the paper which I’ve heard some people say happens. You’ve obviously done a great job with it xx
Me again … meant to say I LOVE the sunflowers .. it made me smile as I have just posted a sunflower card to the challenge!! xx
The die cut on the first card is really stunning and makes a great background for your flowers. The colors on the second card are so cheerful and eye catching. Your pup is so cute and oh those sunflowers are amazing!
Two beauties Brenda,the ornate frame, stamped image and your choice of colours is gorgeous,as are the vibrant tones in the second card. Great pics too.
Beautiful floral cards Brenda, lovely designs, love the stamps you've used on both. the Lavinia one is stunning in those vibrant colours!
Great photo of your sunflowers...and Poppy!

Loving both of your pretty cards with the flowers and fairy image, but those sunflowers are just spectacular to see and Poppy is adorable too. I hope today finds you feeling well and resting. Take care hugs coming your way.
Two beautiful cards Brenda, I am loving the new Aall and Create florals and beautiful Lavinia blossoms on the second. You achieved such a great watercolor look with the brushos!
Also beautiful sunflower pictures and poppy is so cute! It's always the little ones that think they run the household, isn't it :)
Another duo of fabulous floral cards Brenda.
And look at all your beautiful sunflowers. Mine are still growing and haven't got any flowers on them yet! xxx
wonderful card!
Beautiful cards, as always! Poppy is a cutie and good for her taking charge of the labs!
Love that ornate die on the first one and those vibrant colours on the second. Your sunflowers look fabulous. It is nice that they are shorter this year, but baffling as to why when everything else is extra tall xx
Una card regale con le belle rose e quel glorioso frame decorativo, Brenda! Non è usuale vedere delle fustelle sui tuoi lavori!
Colori spettacolari sulla card di Lavinia, davvero magnifica con quei colori così vibranti!! Una gioia per gli occhi! Molto interessante la procedura con i Brushos e la stampa ripetuta, un giorno proverò!! Grandi ispirazioni come al solito, c'è sempre da imparare da te! La fata con le api è deliziosa e hai fatto magie con le tue penne!!
Il tuo giardino è così bello dopo tutta la pioggia, che splendidi girasoli!!! Io non li metto più, se li mangiano le cimici, purtroppo.
Qui da me l'erba è verde solo in primavera, poi in estate tutto diventa giallognolo e secco.
Sono molto contenta di vedere Poppy scorrazzare felice nel suo regno, anche lei ne ha passate tante!
Sei nei miei pensieri e nelle mie preghiere. Abbi cura di te, riposati e raccogli le forze per superare al meglio la prossima sfida! Ti abbraccio forte e grazie per tutto. Terrò d'occhio il DT Blog per avere tue notizie!
Beautiful cards!
Love the orange of the first!
The second is just such a nice scene.
